xfinitywifi login?

[ghost]

Hi there VERY excited by this BUT I use xfinitywifi which is a service in the USA where AP's are on people's modems and we login whereever we see xfinitywifi. We then enter our email address and our xfinitywifi password. This connects our laptops to the wifi. I don't really see how to do this on your config. I thought the email was the one that got a message sent to it??

As in the readme

wpa_passphrase=ConnectToConnect

Also try connecting twice if it doesn't work

Hey Zack I got in on the second go so that works so I changed my question

[schollz]

I think its not possible to do it with Xfinity because the Pi will never think its "online" (because xfinity requires additional steps to go "online" once you get connected).

But shouldn't your modem also broadcast a personal/home WiFi SSID+password?

Hi Zack I understand completely and xfinitywifi is a very obscure case and not worth even thinking about. I don't have a wifi modem. I use xfinitywifi in a completely isolated environment so I connect with Pi0 and just connect to the web from that. I was going to use your project to log the pi into the xfinitywifi and access it from there.

Yeah, so I'd be really excited if this can work on that but I don't know where to start. Let me know if you try!

Hi there neither do I :-) as I said it's a real outlier and no worth thinking about as your idea is excellent the way it is. Sorry to have raised the issue

@sio2bagger No worries, its an issue worth thinking about so it definitely belongs here.

I'm going to close it since I have no way of figuring it out (though I encourage anyone reading this to try).
